even i tried today at home.. it's very nice.. but i cooked in a pressure cooker like a briyani instead of mixing the onion and pudhina content with cooked rice..

Response: Thanks chris for trying the recipe. If you are in hurry then you can definitely cook the mint pulao in pressure cooker, it doesn't affect the taste but final color of pulao will change. To preserve the light green color of mint, pudhina-onion mixture is mixed with cooked rice in last step in this recipe.
